I don’t even know where to start with this review because there are so many wonderful things about this book. I don’t want to ruin anything though!!

It’s been a couple of years since the Genies started taking over. Calum finds himself even more intent of saving his family and those he loves. The Genies have gained power and are becoming even harder to stave off. Then another world power comes to light causing even more trouble.

What’s more troubling than this? The fact that this book could potentially become reality in some sense. Can humanity be humane again? Just like the previous book, don’t try to eat anything while reading this book. As a matter of fact, this book will have a person questioning food at all. How about finding a new source of nourishment?

This author has a way of gripping the reader from page 1 to the end. There is a significant cliffhanger that has me hungering for more and I can’t wait to read the next book!

This second book to the series is amazing and definitely worth the long read. I would highly recommend reading the first book in the series! Even though Greenall does a wonderful job in retelling the characters and where the last book has left off, the in-depth storytelling helps prepare for what is to come in the second book. Two years has passed since where the first book left off and the continuation of struggles between the non-GM group and the “Genies” with its leader, Balthazar. Story is stretched into different, crazier scenarios and although it is quite lengthy compared to the previous book, it is worth the read! Looking forward to the final addition to this amazing series!

This book is incredibly thought provoking. The premise sparks a lot of questions & really makes you wonder. It seems more informative than fictional, like it could almost be a documentary. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the storyline became more than just a storyline & spread into real life. Definitely left me pondering possibilities.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In the first book of this trilogy series, the story features Callum, who works as a scientist for food and drink distribution in the UK and he starts noticing subtle changes in the people as well environment around him. Due to a recent tragic event, he dismisses odd occurrences at the workplace until he notices people turning aggressive in nature as well as disappearances and sudden deaths. After a frightening experience going into town, he starts reaching out to friends and families and starts making connections to these newly odd developments. “Genies” are people with altered behavior and character due to genetically modified (GM) feed given to cows and infecting people who tend to eat meat and non-organic food. The small percentage of individuals who ate vegan have been mostly spared of these conditions.
This realistic dystopian makes you really second guess your own life choices and makes you think of if you were ever in this type of scenario, what would you do? Greenall is an environmentalist and also had a long standing career as a government scientist, which gave a rich foundation to the premises laid out in this story. The concerns of going vegan, genetically modified materials, and governmental influences are such hot topics in world news. This story covers much of the “what-if” scenarios. Looking forward to the next book!

This second book is just as fast paced as the first! We are still with Calum, Jessie and the others and they have started to build up civilization again. As always there are precautions that still have to be taken. And as with any apocalyptic story people aren’t always what they seem. Some people may not want things to change and become better than what was. I definitely enjoyed all of the unexpected plot twist. The science behind this overall series will make you think twice. I will definitely recommend having the third book ready to start because it ends on a cliff hanger!

We find our group of survivors living in Gallanvaig and doing well for themselves and their community. Living a good life without GM foods and the trappings of the past in order to have simple but comfortable life full of community and love for those around them. Keeping each other safe and continuing in their quest to improve on organic lifestyles, trouble begins to brew for Calum and The World Alliance party. The Genies are back and have increased paranormal powers and another political party has thrown its hat into the ring. This new part, World Democratic Party, is all about the past and the way of life living to excess, money, wealth, transportation, food. The colony at Gallanvaig is in trouble as well as those around the world when women are kidnapped by the Genies, pregnant women! Can Calum save his family and those other women taken? Will the World Alliance party win and why in the world were nuclear missiles used to decimate America? No spoilers!! You must read it for yourself, Another great book by Greenall and one for those who are enlightened or want to be. Reading about scary epigenetics and how they can be damaging to bodies and crops. If you aren’t a vegetarian now only eating organic non-gmo foods, you will think twice about your next bite of food and where it comes from. Bravo!!

This book is the reason why post-apocalyptic is quickly becoming my favorite genre of fiction! This story takes place in the aftermath of a world-wide devastating illness. Sounds familiar, right? In a deviation from our all-too-real global pandemic, the author treats readers to various credible and incredible story strands. Hold onto your hats, the winds of change that blow around just might blow you away!
